   Can you drive very carefully with all the Thanksgiving dishes stacked up in your car? If you think you need to, you could even pack them in cardboard boxes and try to lay the boxes evenly in the floorboards of your car, so that even if you hit a bump on the road, there’s less of a chance of something bad happening to the food…

   It can be difficult. I have been known to roast the turkey beforehand, carve it thoroughly, and then put the meat in a disposable aluminum tray, and refrigerate . Before serving, throw 4-8oz of broth on the meat, cover with foil, and heat in a 250-300F oven for 30-45 minutes. As for potatoes, note my last paragraph:

   Mashed potatoes are really simple, and most people associate them with a fancy feast and roast poultry. Get some of those Yukon Gold, or other white potatoes, but don’t use baking russets. Red Thin-skinned potatoes work fine, too.

   Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Skin the potatoes, but not too much. Today’s mashed often have some skin left in them for both fiber and flavor. Boil the skinned potatoes until they are tender, and a fork slides into them easily. To cut down on cooking (boiling time) cut the potatoes, but be aware that small cubes will over cook very easily.

   Here is where some cook differ: I use an electric beater to mash my potatoes, but some think that that is sacrilege! Some use a ricer, which is like a giant garlic press, some use a wire masher, and others use a fork! Add salt, pepper (white?) and chives to taste, butter and milk, cream, or evaporated (NOT condensed!) milk to thin the spuds and keep them creamy.

   For my famous “make ahead” mashed, I do the above except I use (for about 3-4 lbs of raw potatoes) 4 oz (one half package) of Light Cream Cheese (not fat-free) and one cup of Light Sour Cream. These potatoes have more body, and will stand up to microwave re-heating.
